The atmosphere in the living room turned stagnant for a moment.
A trace of bright red flashed across the glass-bead-like eyes of Marn Haiyin, and he was obviously stimulated by Bai Ju; but rather than saying that he was provoked, it was better to say that he felt the threat from Bai Ju intuitively. With his lips pursed into a line, Marn stared at Bai Ju’s eyes, his gaze not moving an inch. He was the master of this generation of Haiyin Castle and the leader of all the members here. Although he could not compete with Bai Ju and others in terms of strength, his position could not be shaken in the slightest.
“… Distinguished guest.” Marn spoke slowly, his voice low and elegant, “I don’t doubt your strength, but we can’t completely trust you.”
“As you can see, as vampires, we are cunning demons living in dark corners in the eyes of humans.” Marn said those derogatory and disgusting words calmly, “and the fact is that we are greedy, evil, loyal to desires while disdaining to be loyal; we submit to absolute bloodline and are always ready to inherit and retaliate – you want to gain our trust, which is fundamentally impossible.”
“Our limited obedience as vampires is based on nature and instinct, and on coercion, not trust.” Marn curled his lips, “Of course, I tell you this not because I hope you will hold the sword of God to coerce us and make us your prisoners.”
“If you can keep this treasure from the thief you mentioned, the thief who covets our inheritance, then we will submit to you without hesitation.” Marn said very sincerely, “Believe me, Haiyin Castle will not be an obstacle for you.”
Bai Ju tilted his head slightly, lowered his eyelids, and his dark eyes swallowed up the light. Vampires were Western monsters, and their speaking habits were really verbose and redundant.
What does “will not be an obstacle” mean…
Bai Ju tapped the table with his fingers together: “Similarly, you also refuse to provide clues, right?”
Marn felt the air around him sink slightly, and it was difficult for him to move the ring for a while.
But he still had to make it clear: “You are very wise.”
What it means is that if you like the inheritance, just go ahead and grab it. If you grab it, it’s yours. The vampires express their submission; but if you want to get news from them about other people who want the inheritance, it’s impossible.
Bai Ju pointed his fingertips, and the light blue flames rolled over the black tea, raising the temperature back a little: “Okay, we don’t need your cooperation.”
Secretly shaking Xiao Yao’s hand, Bai Ju continued with the rhythm: “The thirteenth inheritance, the power of the fifth generation of vampires… I can handle it.”
Marn: “! “
Bai Ju picked up the teacup and took a sip: “Thank you for your hospitality. As a return gift, we will give you three invitations. You can use them to travel to the inland of China for a long time. Maybe you can find a Chinese practice method that suits you.”
Marn: “!!!”
Bai Ju stood up, Xiao Yao and Qu Lang also cooperated to drink the black tea in the cup and stood up. Qu Lang also pulled up Shao Simiao, who was out of the situation.
“In that case, I’m sorry to bother you today. Goodbye.”
“Wait!” Marn Haiyin couldn’t help but stand up, and took two steps forward eagerly to block their way, “You mean, the invitation letter from China?”
Bai Ju lowered his eyes. The lord of Haiyin Castle was about the same height as Xiao Yao, and his eyes were slightly lower than his.
Marn’s throat was a little dry: “What if we cooperate with you?”
Bai Ju raised his eyebrows: “Sorry, we don’t need cooperation. It’s enough that Haiyin Castle does not cause any obstacles.”
Marn was choked, knowing that it was not wise to dwell on this topic at this time.
Taking a deep breath, Marn gritted his teeth and ignored Bai Ju’s refusal: “Dear guest, you came here today with an invitation card from Haiyin Castle. We are obliged to provide you with a whole day of service, including food, rest, entertainment and even interest courses… If you are willing to generously forgive us for not waiting, we hope that you can stay on this humble land and let us bring you some wonderful enjoyment.”
That’s what they wanted.
During the day, these vampires would rack their brains to please them and test the limits of the benefits they could provide; in order to obtain information, while cautious and cunning vampires would be willing to take risks and try to interfere with their actions as little as possible.
——In fact, the “less intervention” of the vampires was the best cooperation for them.
With Xiao Yao and Qu Lang around, Bai Ju was not worried about finding some clues but not being able to identify them; and Haiyin Castle’s “less intervention” could give them enough space to find clues without causing suspicion due to excessive cooperation. At most, it would make people think that they were too careless.
The whole process was basically within the expectations of Bai Ju and Xiao Yao.
However, the enthusiasm of the vampires for immigrating to China was a little beyond the imagination of Bai Ju and Xiao Yao.
As they learned before, the gap between the father and the offspring of the bloodline was like a mountain pressing on the head of the vampire. The obedience brought by the bloodline was an instinctive limitation that vampires could not overcome; therefore, when Marn Haiyin and his wife cautiously allowed Bai Ju and others to move freely, their offspring vampires could not bypass these two people to act on their own and openly disobey the previous generation who had already expressed their position.
As a result, when Bai Ju and others were discussing the means of inheritance stripping in the tea room, the eleventh and twelfth generation vampires came several times, delivering tea, snacks, and flowers. After all these were delivered, a vampire princess with a box of treasured jewels ran over and tried to exchange the gifts for an invitation to the Chinese mainland.
Bai Ju looked at those accessories that were completely unsuitable for Xiao Yao to wear: “…”
Old Dog Bai sighed and didn’t want to bully this little girl who was only more than three hundred years old as a vampire, so he refused these gifts and said, “We want to go to the pony farm and ride horses. “
The twelfth generation vampire: “q口q”
There was no other way. The sun was shining brightly outside. The several vampires could move freely indoors with sunscreen. But if they were asked to go outdoors now, it would be difficult even with an umbrella.
Bai Ju was riding on Bai Ju[1]‘s back, and next to him was Xiao Yao who was riding a chestnut horse.
Qu Lang and Shao Simiao were at the other end of the stable. At this moment, Captain Qu was serving as a “common sense” science popularizer to Shao Simiao.
“It went smoothly this time,” Bai Ju smoothed the mane on the horse’s neck, looked in the direction of Qu Lang and the others, and whispered, “I was worried that they would suddenly attack and hurt people, and attack Shao Simiao who looks the weakest.”
Xiao Yao nodded: “This time we were more cautious. If Jing Xia came here today, we might have been easily controlled.”
Old Dog Bai took a look and then retracted his gaze; in fact, when he and Xiao Yao were planning today’s actions last night, their concern about Shao Simiao was not that he would be injured, but that he would be frightened.
As a pure Yang body, Shao Simiao’s blood was extremely strong and had Yang energy. It was a great tonic for many Chinese monsters and even warlocks. However, for vampires, who were Yin in nature and whose power source was basically based on blood, this blood was the biggest killing weapon.
If a blind vampire really bit Shao Simiao today, the vampire would be the first to get a mouth ulcer; in other words, the coward Shao Simiao would at most be frightened but would not be really hurt by the vampire.
“Will he really consider joining the Secret Service?” Xiao Yao’s eyes stayed on Shao Simiao for a while, and he couldn’t help but kick Bai Ju’s calf to confirm.
“Look at him,” Bai Ju chuckled and raised his chin towards Qu Lang and Shao Simiao, “Shao Simiao has unknowingly started trusting Qu Lang a lot; even though he obviously knows that the two of us are stronger than Qu Lang, he still feels more secure around Qu Lang.”
Bai Ju sighed softly, “Besides, this kid is very wise and has a broad vision, which may be related to his growth environment. Joining the same organization, the Secret Service Bureau is obviously a good place to accumulate achievements and even military merits. If he wants to take care of his family and himself as a sorcerer, the status of the Secret Service Bureau in the political circle cannot be underestimated, and it is the Bureau that can help him the most.”
Xiao Yao thought it was quite reliable and nodded in agreement, “Besides, Qu Lang is rarely so patient with a newcomer… When he led newcomers in the past, he basically trained them first and then pulled them out in the middle of the night, opened their yin-yang eyes, and stuffed them into the pile of ghosts. Basically, if they were not scared to death on the first night, they would succeed.”
Bai Ju: “…”
Bai Ju was hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Xiao Yao was a little confused, so he leaned over and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Bai Ju hesitated for a moment, then spoke carefully in a low voice, asking, “Is there any problem with this training method?”
Xiao Yao was stunned: “… It’s not a problem, objectively speaking, the effect is very good.”
Old Dog Bai breathed a sigh of relief: “I usually trained my younger brothers in this way, and I also think that if I want to discipline the little monsters in the future, it will be similar… If there was a problem, I must change the plan. But since there is no problem, I will follow my experience.”
Xiao Yao choked and felt that he should have said there was a problem just now.
There were indeed many little monsters in the Monster Management Bureau who were undisciplined, but after all, these little monsters had grown up in a civilized society. The most rigorous military training they had received was just the military training in school, and they were very lazy; if Old Dog Bai came up with an appearance of “I will teach you survival training”, to be honest, Xiao Yao was a little worried that these little monsters won’t be able to bear it.
But Bai Ju was still planning with great interest: “Qiu Ziran, the red fox, also has a yang attribute. If there are any minor fights here, we can call him over to practice. After all, his attributes are superior. It would be a pity if we don’t practice with him when we have this opportunity.”
Xiao Yao: “…”
Director Xiao felt sorry for the little monsters in his bureau. In order to prevent Old Dog Bai from paying too much attention to these, he changed the subject and said, “Speaking of which, Brother Bai, do you really have a way to strip the power of vampires?”
“There are many ways.” Bai Ju muttered in a low voice, “I can just eat a vampire. It’s too troublesome to extract it.”
Xiao Yao: “…”
Okay, it turns out that Haiyin Castle is just a restaurant for Old Dog Bai.
